Are you romantic?

The love of my life isn't here anymore, but true love and romantic feelings never die.

Romance or what is romantic is subjective, I think.

Good point.

My own Father would always sweat the small stuff but remain cool for the bigger stuff. He'd lose his mind if he burnt the bacon on the stove, but for life-changing events like a death/ tragedy in the family, he was always our rock.

I quite sure this made him very romantic to our family. He was always reliable and there for us in the crunch.
 

Are you romantic?​


Without a doubt, I like to think I am.

For instance.

I once invited a lady to my home where I cooked a candlelight dinner for her, with a single red rose.

She said that the meal was delicious, but next time, just hand her the rose and not stand it up in her bowl of soup. šŸ˜Š
 
I think I'm romantic, but I suppose being romantic can mean different things to different people. For me, in my mind, when Iā€™m being romantic, the person Iā€™m with might often not figure that out until she reflects on it then tells me about it the following day. There has got to be something Iā€™m doing wrong, but I donā€™t know what is.

EDIT/UPDATE: One personal example might be walking over a bridge at night then along the side of the river, only to be asked, twice, why we are doing this. Then following day, around midday being told how romantic the walk was. Think of this scene, as this is where we were.

Hm, yeah, I can see where that might seem a little off to you as romance, in my experience, is often picked up in real time, which is what makes it effective.

However, on further thought, maybe your type of romance is simply a slow burn kind of thing that hits the target later, on reflection, as you say. I can see that being nice as well.

Good point, and only know that you mention it I see the latter point to. "I can see that being nice as well". Does a sence of being romanitic have to be in the there and then for it to be effective. Maybe not?

Ive updated my previous post with an axample

I'm not sure, to be honest; I think it would depend on the length and depth of the relationship.
I do think it can and should vary; immediate obviousness and later reflection.

I think as some have said, just playing your part in a relationship can be seen as romantic -- just doing the necessary & practicable things together. Or even separately for that matter.

And then follow those practicalities by taking it up a notch. Something simple like getting up in the morning & leaving the house before she gets up, placing a simple inexpensive gift inside of something that you know she is going to open. She has the rest of the day to reflect upon it before she has the chance to tell you about it.

As you say, ā€œā€¦depend on the length and depth of the relationshipā€.
